1.2 - Introduction
==================
SalesPCX is an external protocol made specifically for use with The
On-Line Sales Door/VisuaLink Database System and allows the user to
view text and picture files while they are logged into The On-Line
Sales Database.
There will be a large number of your customers who will already
have communication software that they prefer to use in place of
The Navigator and ClickComm. They may be using QModem*, Telix*,
Procomm*, Mirror*, etc, and may not want to change over, just to be
able to view products on your system.
Bearing that in mind, we have developed the SalesPCX Protocol. As
long as the existing communications software your customer is using
will allow the installation of an external protocol, namely
SalesPCX, then they will have the ability to use their favourite
package and still be able to view on-line your system. As with
ClickComm, the SalesPCX Protocol is not included with VisuaLink
[Commercial Version], but is included with our original
distribution files of The On-Line Sales Door [Shareware Version].
It may also be downloaded/obtained from The Support Group BBS at
(416) 444-7358 or by telephoning Perigee Software Corporation at
(416) 444-2501.
If you are running the SHAREWARE version of our software you will
have to make SalesPCX available to your customers. The SalesPCX
package is NOT FREE and must be purchased by your customers.
However, the customers will have the opportunity to demo the
software beforehand, as SalesPCX is shareware.
If you are using VisuaLink in conjunction with a BBS (Bulletin
Board System), then you can freely distribute SalesPCX within your
download directories.
If you are running VisuaLink without a BBS, (Commercial version
only), and want to distribute SalesPCX, then you must make SalesPCX
available through a file attachment.
